Where are Claude Code session logs stored on macOS?

Claude Code stores JSONL conversation logs and session transcripts locally in ~/.claude/projects/ on macOS. You can open this directory by running 'open ~/.claude/projects/' in your terminal.

Does this tool upload my Claude Code transcripts to any server?

No. The parser runs 100% locally in your browser sandbox using JavaScript. No prompts, codebase files, or tool outputs are sent to remote servers.

How do I resume a past Claude Code session in my terminal?

Run 'claude --resume' to pick from recent sessions, or 'claude --resume ' to jump directly into a specific session. To view and resume past sessions in one click without files, use L2Cache for Mac.
